It reminds me of the first time I really noticed how bad search engines had gotten. It was 2021 and I was making a pub-style picnic table. You know the ones, two long benches with a long table in between and the whole thing is one piece with a pair of A-frames. I searched for some plans and cut lists, and every search engine wanted to show me How To Make A Pub Picnic Table In 2021, or 2021's Best Pub Picnic Tables or Hot New Picnic Table Plans For 2022.Tables like this aren't new and there really isn't a new way of doing them, they're the same today as they were before I was born, they're absolutely a solved problem. The top result should've been the article with the best photos and the clearest, easiest-to-follow instructions, but a computer can't tell whether instructions are clear or pictures are properly illustrative, so they have to judge articles on shit that doesn't matter, like how often it says "pub picnic table" or when the article was last updated, and it's gotten to the point where a computer can write an article that a search engine will think is awesome but which is absolutely fucking useless for anyone trying to read it.We desperately need more ️ in the world.
